convocation address given by dr cutten points out education is dependent upon self endeavors dr colgate greets new men pointing out the fact that education is a process of drawing out rather than pouring in dr george b cutten president of colgate university in an address delivered at the convocation exercises thursday morning in memorial chapel advised the students of the university that the duty of making their college course valuable rested squarely upon their own shoulders all education is self education said dr cutten no one can educate you you must educate yourself if you are to be educated the college he said is merely an organ ized opportunity for this self-education and the professors are but guides to assist the student in the process their job being not to inject knowledge but rather to teach the practice of learning the college according to the speaker can start men on a life of cumulative and constructive learning but the start is all that can be given education being the process of a life time and the one on whom the responsibility for attaining its full benefits being the individual while maintaining that the professor can not be expected to do the educating dr cutten expressed the belief that he can aid greatly by inspiring a love of learning although here again it must be recognized that even the most inspirational teacher sometimes fails to enthuse some students presenting a problem in such a way that it coaxes to be solved,"he said is the finest service a professor can render a student a person who repeats parrot fashion what some one else has told him or what he reads in a book or in many books is not educated he said an open mind is not an omnibus mind to accept every thing which is presented and to accept it without question but an open mind is one not closed to a new truth when it makes its appeal as truth it may seem some what bumptuous for a freshman to be criticizing some of the great authorities on subjects upon which hi is a neophyte but after all that is his privilege and that is the way to master the subject that is the way of all progress self education however would be dif ficult to achieve he stated unless one had some idea of the object of life and this colgate has held to be the formation of character recognizing this as the aim he called upon the students to make hse of the opportunities offered him at college realizing that the more opportunities of which they take advantage the more op portunities will be presented to them james c colgate president of the board of trustees who was present at the convocation service spoki a few words to the students at the request of dr cutten dr colgate expressed the hope that the students would learn during their course to destroy the invisible wall which some times separates an older man from a young one in order that each might share that which the other has and he himself has not youth the experience of age age the zeal of youth fills fosdick pulpit president george b cutten supplied the pulpit of the park avenue baptist church of new york city sunday morn ing in the absence of dr harry emerson maroon eleven to meet hamilton in opening game on whitnall field colgate to get first test of season against buff and blue team new men to appear undergraduates and alumni will have their first opportunity to see the new maroon eleven in intercollegiate compe tition when a team from hamilton college invades whitnall field saturday afternoon the hamilton team will face a different team than it did a year ago when the buff and blue held the colgate eleven to three touchdowns in a downpour of rain although the starting lineup has not been announced by coach george w hauser it is expected to find several new men in the maroon line the offensive and de fensive qualities of the team will be given its first trial against the hamilton team it is also expected that coach hauser will try out the new candidates with frequent substitutions under a new coach the hamilton col lege eleven is of unknown strength reports from the buff and blue camp indi cate that the hamilton squad is somewhat weak with a practically new line and an inexperienced backfield chances for a maroon victory are promising buch at fullback and pierce at the quarterback position form the danger points in the hamilton backfield while captain wor muth looms up as a strong man on the line at one time the colgate-hamilton foot ball game was considered to be one of the outstanding classics of northern new york but relationships on the gridiron were dropped for a number of years last year the annual game was resumed when the maroon team traveled to clin ton and carried off a 19-0 victory it is expected that the contest will again de velop into an annual fixture on the schedules of both colleges several maroon veterans will be seen in the starting lineup saturday afternoon when the whistle blows for the opening kickoff of the 1927 campaign captain timm at end will lead the team for the first time while mankat dumont and mason will see service as veteran letter men it is likely that huntington flagg cox rice and stromellio all new comers to the varsity will be seen in the other vacant positions in the backfield shaughnessy will start his third year as first string fullback while brewer and newell will take thsir places as two other veteran backs among the outstanding new men to show promises of capturing positions in the backfield is galloway star on last year's undefeated freshman team dowler simmons and other backfield aspirants will most likely be given a chance to see service in the game also frosh griomen play local high school coach abel expects speed to characterize 1931 team squad is small coach earl abel plans to send the col gate freshman football squad through its first scrimmage of the season this after noon in a practice game with the hamilton high school gridmen the team ac cording to abel director of freshman athletics will be fast and snappy in con trast to the heavy powerful combination of last year the squad which answered the first call this season numbers fifty smaller by almost forty lads than the group of grid candidates a year ago indications are that the team will average about 165 pounds in spite of the facts that the squad is smaller lighter and faces a more difficult schedule than usual the coach is extending some optimism he forsees little trouble in rounding out a strong hacklield with plenty of good substitutes one fairly strong line has already taken shape but coach abell misses the sturdy second and third string forward walls that helped make last year's team undefeated blocking kicking passing and grass drills have occupied the team thus far because of the interference of the opening program and rushing season the hardest work of the year will not start until next week shortly after actual scrimmage gets under way the squad will be cut to about 30 men this is earl abel's second year as fresh man coach he is being assisted by j francis welch of williamstown mass and fred hagy of philadelphia this year's manager is bud mitchell of white plains the schedule to be undertaken will provide stiffer opposition than usual the best frosh and prep school teams being on the card every game except one is on a foreign fu-ld two games are booked with the syracuse frosh

but rather to teach the practice of learning the college according to the speaker can start men on a life of cumulative and constructive learning but the start is all that can be given education being the process of a life time and the one on whom the responsibility for attaining its full benefits being the individual while maintaining that the professor can not be expected to do the educating dr cutten expressed the belief that he can aid greatly by inspiring a love of learning although here again it must be recognized that even the most inspirational teacher sometimes fails to enthuse some students presenting a problem in such a way that it coaxes to be solved,"he said is the finest service a professor can render a student a person who repeats parrot fashion what some one else has told him or what he reads in a book or in many books is not educated he said an open mind is not an omnibus mind to accept every thing which is presented and to accept it without question but an open mind is one not closed to a new truth when it makes its appeal as truth it may seem some what bumptuous for a freshman to be criticizing some of the great authorities on subjects upon which hi is a neophyte but after all that is his privilege and that is the way to master the subject that is the way of all progress self education however would be dif ficult to achieve he stated unless one had some idea of the object of life and this colgate has held to be the formation of character recognizing this as the aim he called upon the students to make hse of the opportunities offered him at college realizing that the more opportunities of which they take advantage the more op portunities will be presented to them james c colgate president of the board of trustees who was present at the convocation service spoki a few words to the students at the request of dr cutten dr colgate expressed the hope that the students would learn during their course to destroy the invisible wall which

intercollegiate compe tition when a team from hamilton college invades whitnall field saturday afternoon the hamilton team will face a different team than it did a year ago when the buff and blue held the colgate eleven to three touchdowns in a downpour of rain although the starting lineup has not been announced by coach george w hauser it is expected to find several new men in the maroon line the offensive and de fensive qualities of the team will be given its first trial against the hamilton team it is also expected that coach hauser will try out the new candidates with frequent substitutions under a new coach the hamilton col lege eleven is of unknown strength reports from the buff and blue camp indi cate that the hamilton squad is somewhat weak with a practically new line and an inexperienced backfield chances for a maroon victory are promising buch at fullback and pierce at the quarterback position form the danger points in the hamilton backfield while captain wor muth looms up as a strong man on the line at one time the colgate-hamilton foot ball game was considered to be one of the outstanding classics of northern new york but relationships on the gridiron were dropped for a number of years last year the annual game was resumed when the maroon team traveled to clin ton and carried off a 19-0 victory it is expected that the contest will again de velop into an annual fixture on the schedules of both colleges several maroon veterans will be seen in the starting lineup saturday afternoon when the whistle blows for the opening kickoff of the 1927 campaign captain timm at end will lead the team for the first time while mankat dumont and mason will see service as veteran letter men it is likely that huntington flagg cox rice and stromellio all new comers to the varsity will be seen in the other vacant positions in the backfield shaughnessy will start his third year as first string fullback while brewer and newell will take thsir places as two other veteran backs among the outstanding new men to show promises of capturing positions in the backfield is galloway star on last year's undefeated freshman team dowler simmons and other backfield aspirants will most likely be given a chance to see service in the game also frosh griomen play local high school coach abel expects speed to characterize 1931 team squad is small coach earl abel plans to send the col gate freshman football squad through its first scrimmage of the season this after noon in a practice game with the hamilton high school gridmen the team ac cording to abel director of freshman athletics will be fast and snappy in con trast to the heavy powerful combination of last year the squad which answered the first call this season numbers fifty smaller by almost forty lads than the group of grid candidates a year ago indications are that the team will average about 165 pounds in spite of the facts that the squad is smaller lighter and faces a more difficult schedule than usual the coach is extending some optimism he forsees little trouble in rounding out a strong hacklield with plenty of good substitutes one fairly strong line has already taken shape but coach abell misses the sturdy second and third string forward walls that helped make last year's team undefeated blocking kicking passing and grass drills have occupied the team thus far because of the interference of the opening program and rushing season the hardest work of the year will not start until next week shortly after actual scrimmage gets under way the squad will be cut to about 30 men this is earl abel's second year as fresh man coach he is being assisted by j francis welch of williamstown mass and fred hagy of philadelphia this year's manager is bud mitchell of white plains the schedule to be undertaken will provide stiffer opposition than usual the best frosh and prep school teams being on the card every game except one is on a foreign fu-ld two games are booked with the syracuse frosh
